I am so grateful to Ben Li and Raymond for your help. All the translations offered made good sense to me. It is definately an educational experience! I felt so bad that I only can grade one answer here. The translation is only half done, I am sure there will need more of your help. I am going to use the translation as follows:

Explanation:In English legal language, the transfer of property, interest, or rights may be referred to as "assignment" or "conveyance." When the subject matter of the deal is something intangible, "assignment" is the word; but in case of transfer of tangible property, especially real property such as land, "conveyance" is more commonly used and is more precise. See explanations in Black's Law Dictionary:

Asignment: The transfer by a party of all of its rights to some kind of property, usually intangible property such as rights in a lease, mortgage, agreement of sale or a partnership. Tangible property is more often transferred by possession and by instruments conveying title such as a deed or a bill of sale.

Conveyance: In its most common usage, transfer of title to land...to another by deed....Generally, every instrument in writing by which an estate or interest in the realty is created.

An alternative translation, which is a more common usage among American lawyers and real estate brokers, is "to have signed a deed (or title deed)." As defined by Black, a deed is a written instrument...by which one person conveys land...to another.

Lei Wang: Partially agree. Maybe the 'title deed' does not apply to the land in China where lands are state-owned and not for sale. Just to remind you of the different situation between the US and China
